Seaford Rail Vegetation Management Plan - Communitywebs.org

Seaford Rail Extension Vegetation Management Plan
Planting events within Area 4 have been planned over several years to allow for the control of
invasive weed species and the collection of adequate amounts of seed for direct seeding. The
result is an extended maintenance program of six years instead of five. Primary areas for
revegetation are Zones A, B, C, D and E. Secondary areas for revegetation are F, G and H,
depending on funding availability.
